my genes :)

My kids sometimes create really cool illustrations. Ok, every parent is sure that his kids are genius, but for my opinion this funny bird is great, so we printed a t-shirt with it.

Finding little treasures in big museums

Last week I had a birthday, and as a present got from my mum a room in a little hotel near Jerusalem. In the morning we planned to go swimming in the hotel’s pool, but then I discovered that I forgot the swimming suits, so we decided to go to the Art Museum instead. Every time I visit there, I hurry up to regional crafts parts. It is full of inspiration, design ideas, strange creatures, old legends — everything I love so much.

Double Mishmish

My daughter Michelle now is reading Erich Kastner’s book «Lottie and Lisa», about twin girls who were separated at birth and met by chance at summer camp. Today we made a very fun photosession, to make Michelle look like twins.

Peter and the Wolf

The girls and me love to listen in the car to Prokofiev’s «Peter and the Wolf». We found this great version, with some narration which explains how musical instruments are connected to the personages of the story. As this is one of my favorite subjects (children and scary animals) I googled it a bit and found this great blog with a collection of vintage covers of vinyl records, all for «Peter and the Wolf» only.

my two favorites:

inspiration: Red Valentino winter/fall 2013/14

Surfing through blogs, I bumped into new collection of Red Valentino. I love it so much: the fabrics, the clothes, the styling, the photography and the face expressions of the model — she has that look which I always try to catch in my works.

Anna Gavalda: La Consolante

Great book by Anna Gavalda. Really recommend you, if you (like me) love books by Kundera, Heinrich Boll, Dovlatov.

Little monsters from Denmark

Recently I got an email from Denmark, that made me feel very happy:

«Hey Lena
I’m an artist from Denmark — and I also teach at an artschool for children. By incidence I came by your website, and I was very inspired by your artwork. I decided to show your work to the children, and they all made a picture of a tamed monster. Maybe you will like to see the children’s work? They are between 6 and 9 years old.
You`ll find a link here

Thank you, Jane and kids, your monsters are so beautiful!
